About ECSECC

ECSECC was established in 1995 within a historical context characterized by the persistence of a number of structural, political, economic and social problems confronted by a newly elected ANC-led government. The period was also marked by a generalized but incomplete transformation of both the provincial government and the administration.

All of the above unfolded within a national political climate characterized by the hegemony of the Reconstruction and Development Program and the maturation of a political culture committed to evolving new forms of development cooperation between government, labour, organized business and developmental non-governmental organizations.
